Lucien Albrecht 2005 Pfingstberg Grand Cru Riesling (Alsace)
- $43
Now maturing gently and with elegance, this is an exceptional wine. With its hint of toast, spice and white fruit flavors pierced by acidity and smoothed by vanilla, it has power along with elegance.

Lucien Albrecht 2005 Clos Schild Riesling (Alsace)
- Online Exclusive
- $115
From a clos—walled vineyard—owned by the Albrecht family, this is a concentrated, very perfumed wine. The vineyard’s sandstone soil gives the wine a warm character, with floral white fruits. The final acidity is so well integrated.

Lucien Albrecht 2000 Sélection de Grains Nobles Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- $65
Intense orange marmalade and botrytis notes on the nose also come through on the palate. This wine is concentrated and intense, with layers of acidity balancing its intense sweetness. Give this wine 10 years. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.

Lucien Albrecht 2002 Grand Cru Pfingstberg Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- Editors' Choice
- $38
Nails the textural element of Pinot Gris, dealing pear, melon, honey and citrus scents, then a rich, thickly textured mouthfeel. Tastes like peach and pear nectar, without being simply fruity, backed by a river of liquid minerals and a subtle nuttiness. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.

Lucien Albrecht 2000 Sélection de Grains Nobles Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- $67
Albrecht made only 25 cases of this SGN, but if you can find it, it's worth a try. Aromas of caramelized orange peel and ripe melon suggest sweetness--and the wine is sweet--just not dessert-sweet. It's oily and viscous on the palate, conveying an impression of great weight and richness along with flavors of dried spices and citrus. Pair with foie gras or cheeses.

Lucien Albrecht 2005 Cuvée Cécile Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- $31
Sexy aromas of expensive perfume, exotic spices and honey give way to a strikingly intense palate accented by caramelized apple notes. Finish is long and a bit sweet. Serve this luxurious wine with lobster in a fruit preparation.

Lucien Albrecht 2001 Clos des Récollets Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- $100
This is the current release of this unusual wine. It’s barrel-fermented and aged, which gives a huge bouquet of buttered nuts, backed by ample peach and melon fruit, and a long, spice-filled, oily finish. Full-bodied and unctuous in texture, it stretches the boundaries of Pinot Gris, and is sure to be controversial.

Lucien Albrecht 2001 Sélection de Grains Nobles Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- Cellar Selection
- $65
When it is this sweet, Pinot Gris loses some of its spicy character, adds acidity and becomes a delicious, sweet wine. But the richness of the grape stays, and this wine is intense and concentrated, with noble rot to add complexity to the sweetness. It will develop for another 10 years at least. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.
